    Nikon 10 x 42 SE eyecups

    Hi, I own a pair of Nikon 10 x 42 SE binoculars that are in great shape – except for the eyecups, which have torn and cannot be used unless folded down. Unhappily, Nikon no longer has eyecup replacements in stock. I am writing to ask if anyone has a suggestion regarding replacing those...

    Nikon 10 x 42 – broken collimation wheel

    Hi Henry, Sorry for the error: yes, I meant the diopter wheel. Can you let me know how one is to fix the problem with a flat head screwdriver? I'd be truly grateful. Thanks, Avron

    Nikon 10 x 42 – broken collimation wheel

    Hi, While doing some fall birding last week I noticed that the collimation wheel on my wife's Nikon 10x42 SE had broken: it simply turned and turned loosely, without changing the collimation at all. We live in Toronto. The binoculars are 22 years old and still razor sharp but likely no longer...

    Nikon 10 x 42 SE

    Thanks, everyone, for the helpful feedback – and I apologize for taking so long to get back here. Caesar: I did get in touch with Cory at Suddarth Optical Repair and I will likely send the SEs there. Nikon Canada seems to have no sense of what is involved in a collimation adjustment. But...

    Nikon 10 x 42 SE

    Hi everyone, I have a pair of Nikon 10 x 42 SE binoculars that need repairs to the collimation. Nikon Canada recently told me that this is no longer possible – that even the home office in Japan no longer manufactures the parts necessary to make the repair. Does anyone know of alternative...

    Several days birding with Monarch HG 8X42

    Hi Bob, The binoculars are my wife's. I tried the star test because she felt unhappy with what she was seeing through the binoculars. She is now less certain about that. It might be the case that the problem is seen only on the star test. She will try them again today (we have been away)...

    Several days birding with Monarch HG 8X42

    Hi Alexis, Unhappily, it was completely overcast here last night, so I did not have the chance to check each tube individually. I think that I've done this, however, and I did get a single star in each tube. But what would it mean about the binoculars if I actually did get a double image in...

    Several days birding with Monarch HG 8X42

    Hi Bob, Thanks for thinking of this. We are not experiencing blackouts with the SEs. It really does appear to be a collimation problem. A

    Several days birding with Monarch HG 8X42

    Thanks, Bob. I have not had the opportunity to try the Monarch HG. But I am somewhat worried by, for example, Arran's change of heart. Perhaps I should not be, given your impressions of the MHG. One more question: the reason that I am concerned about the SEs is that, after my wife indicated...

    Several days birding with Monarch HG 8X42

    Thanks, Caesar. But, yes, I did mean Nikon Monarch HG. Does that change things? Lee: how in the world did you know about the Chimay Bleu?! A

    Several days birding with Monarch HG 8X42

    MHD or Nikon SE Hi, Has anyone had the chance to compare the Monarch HD to the Nikon SE porro prism binoculars? Nikon is offering a trade-in and I am not sure whether to repair the SEs (collimation problems) or go for the Monarchs. I'd be grateful for any feedback that you could provide...

    8 x 32 SE question

    Thank you, Maciek and npos, for your quick replies to my question and for your suggested solutions. I have a sense that I'll often be carrying, rather than wearing, the 8 x 32s! Best, Avron
